Effective communication is essential in today's work environment. Good communication is as reliant on good listening as on coherent speaking. Here are some tips on how to be a better listener:
- Look at the other person as they speak. Smile and acknowledge them as they speak. They will open up more as you provide a very positive and interested audience.
- Ask questions as your conversation goes along. This will draw out more detailed information.
- Don't interrupt the other person. Let them complete their thought before you jump in and provide feedback.
- Don't change the subject unless the person speaking does. The more comfortable the speaker is the easier it will be for them to speak plainly.
- Occasionally reflect back to the speaker what they said, in your own words. This tells the speaker you were listening and that you understand what they have said.
- Express emotion with control. Try not to overreact to anything.
- Respond appropriately by considering how you want the speaker to think of you.
In about 2-3 weeks or so I'll review another subject designed to provide business owners with information they can use to help them work "on" their business.
Until Next Time : Live Simply, Speak Kindly, Care Deeply, Love Generously and Live In The Moment
